Harbour City Lifestream

Personally, I think everyone will be using lifestreams soon.  They’re wonderfully convenient, quite fashionable and a great reminder to me of the parts of my social graph I need to update.

It works like this.  On this page, which is made up of WordPress and the Social Life theme from Press 75, I enter the details for all of my social media portals.

The theme automagically posts recent activity from all my profiles in neatly laid out sections for Twitter, YouTube, Flickr and the feed for my official blog.  For visitors, it’s a great way to discover (hopefully) ways to connect with me online by seeing a snapshot of what I’ve been up to.  For me, it’s a reminder that I need to improve certain areas of my social presence, specifically my Flickr and YouTube channels.

The empty content areas staring at me feel like an early morning introspective after a late night of debauchery (so I imagine).  Looking into my virtual mirror reminds me that connecting is all about creating and sharing all kinds of content – self promotional or otherwise.

Want your own stream?  No problem, drop me an email.

  • Seven Steps to Writing More Effective Copy

    It would seem, to the casual observer, that writing is easy.  It’s true, I suppose.  Anyone can sit down and plunk away at a typewriter.  Eventually they’ll produce either the completed works of William Shakespeare or hopefully (and more immediately) some well crafted copy that will draw your readers into doing whatever it is you [...]

  • A Bromance With Donald Draper

    Donald Draper (the lead role in the AMC series MadMen) is a misogynist.  He’s a drunk, and a bit of a degenerate.  He’s a womanizer and adulterer, and possibly even a sociopath. He’s also my hero.  Not for any of the reasons above.  They, of course, are all despicable and deplorable traits.  Donald Draper is [...]

  • Struck by Lightening – My Love/Hate Relationship with Keyword Research

    I was doing some keyword research today for a health center I’m working with.  Specifically, keywords related to skin lightening creams and products. Now, at the best of times I have a love-hate relationship with keyword research.  I’m always shocked to discover the new and fascinating meanings seemingly innocuous words can take on in the [...]
